Custom Moulded & Machined Parts

Custom moulded and machined parts are bespoke polymer, elastomer or composite components produced to a drawing, model or verified sample. The process creates sealing, bearing, wear or structural geometry unavailable as a standard item, with material and tolerances chosen for the actual machine duty.

Questions about custom moulded & machined parts

What should I send to identify custom moulded & machined parts?

Send dimensioned drawing or CAD, material specification, service conditions, quantity, tolerances and finish. A worn sample can suggest shape but should be supported by mating dimensions because wear may hide the intended geometry. A clear photograph, drawing or readable reference can resolve details that dimensions alone do not show.

How should I select custom moulded & machined parts?

Define function, loads, motion, media, tolerances and inspection points before selecting process and material. Confirm the mating parts and operating environment before ordering, since an apparently similar size can use a different profile, material or internal arrangement.
